China has a long history and culture, and these countless histories will leave an indelible mark. But at that time, technology was not developed, and it was even more difficult to save some items. Modern experts generally explore the history of that year from the tombs found, especially the funerary objects placed in coffins are very important materials for studying history. But more than ten years ago, Taiyuan, Shanxi Province exported a golden coffin, but it was never opened and the secret was never explored.

The coffins of the ancients were meticulous.

In ancient times, people often avoided life and death. As early as Qin Shihuang's quest for the elixir of life, it can be seen that the ancients had their own obsession with immortality, but they had various requirements on the place and method of burial after death. In this regard, various documents have also been recorded in detail. The ancients attached great importance to funeral etiquette. If the way is not appropriate, it is a violation of etiquette and a disrespect for the deceased. For people with noble status, especially the burial of the emperor, the ways are more complicated and diverse.

During the expert archaeology, most of the tombs found are those of high officials or relatives of the country, because most people don't have much money to buy such luxurious and complicated tombs after their death. The more luxurious the tomb, the more distinguished the owner. Not only the tomb, but also the geographical location was of great concern to the ancients. All these provide favorable clues for experts to study history now.

A golden coffin was found in an important place of Buddhism.

In 2008, a golden coffin was found during the construction of Longquan Temple in Taiyuan, Shanxi. At that time, Longquan Temple was being rebuilt. In the process of construction, the builders accidentally dug out a big stone slab, and then they saw a stone gate. Some workers have experience in this field and think that there may be cultural relics behind them, so they report to the relevant departments.

After hearing this, the experts came to the scene with excitement and excitement. After careful excavation, experts opened the stone gate and unearthed a stone letter. The expert decided to open the coffin. When they opened it, they found it was a wooden coffin. After opening the wooden coffin, it is a delicate copper coffin. The expert carefully opened the copper coffin, which contained a more delicate silver coffin. Experts speculate that behind the silver coffin is the gold coffin. Sure enough, it was a small and gorgeous gold coffin when it was opened. This gold coffin is completely enclosed, surrounded by exquisite patterns, with Buddhist patterns printed on it. Experts speculate that it may be the coffin of a more distinguished person in the Tang Dynasty who believed in Buddhism.

In order to protect it, I dare not open it for more than ten years.

This coffin has a very special structure. There is a bow above the coffin. Because of the long time, the bow has been seriously corroded, and it will deform or even fall off completely with a light touch. How to open the coffin stumped all the experts. After careful study by experts, this bow is also a very precious cultural relic and cannot be destroyed. But if you want to open the coffin, you must untie the bow. Once you untie it, you can't recover it.

Experts have tried many methods, but they can't completely open the bow. Experts believe that there should be cultural relics worth studying in this coffin. They racked their brains and thought twice, and finally came up with a way. Using the present technology, experts have made many replicas of gold coffins and conducted many simulation experiments, hoping to find out the structure of the gold coffins before opening the original coffins. However, imagination is always beautiful and it is very difficult to practice. Experts have studied it for more than ten years, but they haven't figured out the structure of the gold coffin, so the coffin hasn't been opened yet.

It must be said that the wisdom of the ancients is infinite, and the ingenuity of their design is beyond our modern people's solution. The expert's practice is to protect it and our cultural relics.

China has a history of 5,000 years. In this long history, countless treasures are buried. We can't explore one by one, nor can we deliberately destroy it. But when we find them, we must give priority to protection and not destroy history. Since it can't be studied, let it stay there safely and protect the cultural relics of our country. Everyone is responsible.
